Use the effects and presets window and type in displacement map, see if it comes up. It would be wierd if it didn’t, as this is a standard filter with the professional version of AE.

Unmult is free and you can get it on the Red Giant website.

I like to add a little motion blur in AE, prehaps a ncie light as well…looks way more convincing than simply moving images across the screen. I second the vote for AE.

I haven’t used the duck, but from what I can see, it will get Avid into AE, but not Premiere Pro, altough theorotically that should work.

Thanks

Check to make sure that no one has changed the keyboard language. Alt bracket doesn’t work for me, as my keyboard is set to french cdn.

Create your original comp in a reduced sized 16:9 format (360×240 widescreen) then simply place footage in the screen and adjust position.

You could use cc motion blur, but it seems to me that my collapse transformations button does not disable motion blur (I am rendering at the moment so I can not verify )

So what you are telling me is that I cannot take the raw captured footage from Avid, I owuld have to do an export as an uncompressed AVI. Have you seen any field issues etc with this method ???

Thanks

Could be the After Effects render settings where incorrect. Fields, frame rates, quality, codecs etc.

I think that I will let Adobe do the trouble shooting and testing before I make the move to Vista.
